When going over bumps, mostly at slow speeds, I can hear my suspension make a clicking sound. I thought maybe the stock shocks were blown but two weeks ago I replaced the stock shock with Tokico blues and the clicking didn't go away. Each side does it – if I go into a driveway at an angle, for instance, I can hear each side click. Any guesses as to what it could be?

 

did you check the upper and lower shock bolts? the one on the bottom and the 2 in the trunk? (per side)

 

What springs? Do the rear springs have dead coils? If so, do you have those plastic insulators between the dead coils?

 

maybe ur springs are not seating properly.

 

do you have front and rear sway bars?
check for broken end links front and rear.

I've got H&R Sport springs. The bolts all seem tight (i'll double check them) and I don't have a rear sway bar.

 

The clicking is a washer on the strut being slapped, just like your sister last night. Sorry, just joking.

I would try to tighten the strust that is clicking...

Well, I tightend you mom's struts last night … er … something.

Yeah, I'll take a look at that.

 

Same thing happens when i take turns slowly. i thought it was all the ruckus in my trunk till I cleaned my car and it still does it.

 

That's ecactly what I thought, too – too much "junk in the trunk." Holla! Then I realized I didn't have my tools in there anymore.

 

Anyone got any pics or a detailed description of what you are talking about. I have stock everything, and I don't know crap about suspension. Thanks

 

Could be the rear trailing arm bushings. I think honda even put out a TSB on it.

 

i'd be interested in more info on that. Even if I just crawl over a bump, it clicks - I'd think I'd have to be going faster for the sister-slapping washer noise.

 

When you lift your car up, like jack up the back end does it make this weird cliking noise? Mine does, same whenever I take a turn at under 10 MPH.

Sounds to me like they arent set in there right....

 

I am suspension stupid. Leaking damper? Cause the nosie he describes as clicking or bumping noise is the same noise I get when I take a turn or go over a small speed bump. When lifting the car up, I get a similer set of bumps and clicks too. Do you think it is 2 different problems? What should I look for to see if everyhting is working? Thanks for your help

 

i have a stock suspension and i think mine does this too. Or something similar too it. Not really a clicking noise...well maybe it is..i can't really descripe it. I think it usually happens when i'm making a faster turn though. Or i go down a dip or something kinda fast.
